        discretion determines otherwise and so sets forth in the applicable Agreement,
        and except as vesting may be accelerated pursuant to the terms of the Plan
        or
        the applicable Agreement, Options shall vest and become exercisable in 20%
        installments on each of the first five anniversaries of the Date of
        Grant.
  (iii)           Duration
        of Options.  Subject to earlier termination in accordance with the
        terms of the Plan and the instrument evidencing the Option, the maximum term
        of
        an Option shall be as established for that Option by the Compensation Committee
        but in no event shall be greater than ten years from the Date of
        Grant.
  (iv)           Exercise
        Following Termination of Employment.  Upon termination of a
        Participant's employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries, unless otherwise
        determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion, the following
        terms and conditions shall apply:
  A.           If
        the Participant's employment is terminated by the Company other than for
        Cause,
        or as a result of the Participant's resignation for Good Reason, or as a
        result
        of death, Permanent Disability or Retirement, the Participant (or, in the
        case
        of the Participant's death, his Beneficiary) may exercise any Options, to
        the
        extent vested as of the date of such termination, at any time until the earlier
        of (I) the 90th day following the date of such termination of employment,
        and
        (II) the expiration of the Option under the provisions of Section 8(a)(iii);
        and
  B.           If
        the Participant's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or as
        a
        result of the Participant's resignation other than for Good Reason, all of
        the
        Participant's Options (whether or not vested) shall expire and be canceled
        without any payment therefor as of the date of such termination.
  Any
        Options not exercised within the applicable time period specified above shall
        expire at the end of such period and be canceled without any payment
        therefor.
  (v)           Certain
        Restrictions.  Options granted hereunder shall be exercisable
        during the Participant's lifetime only by the Participant.
  (vi)           Shareholder
        Rights; Option and Share Adjustments.  A Participant shall have no
        rights as a shareholder with respect to any Common Shares issuable upon exercise
        of an Option until the issuance of the Common Shares is recorded in the
        Company's register of members and a share certificate evidencing the Common
        Shares have actually been issued to that person in accordance with the terms
        of
        the Plan and the applicable Agreement and the issue of such Common Shares
        has
        been approved by the Bermuda Monetary Authority.  Except as otherwise
        provided by the Board of Directors, no adjustment (including an adjustment
        of an
        Option's exercise price) shall be made with respect to (A) outstanding Options
        for dividends or other distributions, whether made with respect to Common
        Shares
        or otherwise, or (B) dividends, distributions or other rights in respect
        of any
        Common Shares for which the record date is prior to the date upon which the
        Participant shall become the registered holder thereof.
  (vii)           Dividends
        and Distributions.  Any Common Shares or other securities of the
        Company received by the Participant as a result of a share dividend, bonus
        issue
        or other distribution in respect of Option Shares shall be subject to the
        same
        restrictions (if any) as such Option Shares.
  (viii)                      Incentive
        Share Options.  Incentive Share Options granted under this Plan
        shall be subject to the following additional conditions, limitations and
        restrictions:
  A.           Incentive
        Share Options may be granted only to employees of the Company or a Subsidiary
        or
        parent corporation of the Company, within the meaning of Section 424 of the
        Code.
  B.           No
        Incentive Share Option may be granted under this Plan after the 10-year
        anniversary of the date on which the Plan is adopted by the Board or, if
        earlier, the date on which the Plan is approved by the Company's
        shareholders.
  C.           The
        aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the Date of Grant) of the Common Shares
        with
        respect to which the Incentive Share Options awarded to any Participant first
        become exercisable during any calendar year may not exceed
        $100,000.  For purposes of the $100,000 limit, the Participant's
        Incentive Share Options under this Plan and all other plans maintained by
        the
        Company and its Subsidiaries will be aggregated.  To the extent any
        Incentive Share Option would exceed the $100,000 limit, the Incentive Share
        Option will thereafter be treated as a Nonqualified Share Option for all
        purposes.  No Incentive Share Option may be granted to any individual
        who owns shares possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power
        of
        all classes of shares of the Company or any Subsidiary.
  D.           If
        the Compensation Committee exercises its discretion to permit an Incentive
        Share
        Option to be exercised by a Participant more than three months after the
        termination of a Participant's employment for any reason (or more than 12
        months
        if the Participant is permanently and totally disabled, within the meaning
        of
        Section 22(e) of the Code), the Incentive Share Option will thereafter be
        treated as a Nonqualified Share Option for all purposes.  For purposes
        of this subclause D, a Participant's employment relationship will be treated
        as
        continuing uninterrupted during any period that the Participant is on military
        leave, sick leave or another Approved Leave of Absence if the period of leave
        does not exceed 90 consecutive days, or a longer period to the extent that
        the
        Participant's right to reemployment with the Company or a Subsidiary is
        guaranteed by statute or by contract.  If the period of leave exceeds
        90 consecutive days and the Participant's right to reemployment is not
        guaranteed by statute or contract, the employment relationship will be deemed
        to
        have ceased on the 91st day of the leave.
  (ix)           Additional
        Terms and Conditions.  Each Option granted hereunder, and any
        Common Shares issued in connection with such Option, shall be subject to
        such
        additional terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as are prescribed
        by the Compensation Committee and set forth in the applicable
        Agreement.
  (b)           Unvested
        Options.  Upon termination of a Participant's employment with the
        Company and its Subsidiaries, all Options granted to such Participant that
        have
        not theretofore vested and which do not vest by reason of such termination
        of
        employment shall terminate and be canceled without any payment
        therefor.
  9.
              Restricted
                  Shares and Bonus Shares.
  (a)           Terms
        of Restricted Shares and Bonus Shares Generally.  Restricted
        Shares and Bonus Shares awarded by the Compensation Committee shall be issued
        solely in consideration for services rendered to the Company, its Subsidiaries
        and/or Affiliates by Participants, except as otherwise determined by the
        Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.
  (b)           Restricted
        Shares and Bonus Shares shall comply with the following terms and
        conditions:
  (i)           Right
        of Repurchase.  The Company shall have the right to repurchase
        Restricted Shares on such terms as determined by the Compensation
        Committee.  Bonus Shares shall not be subject to a right of
        repurchase.
  (ii)           Shareholder
        Rights.  A Participant shall have all rights of a shareholder as
        to the Restricted Shares and Bonus Shares awarded to such Participant, including
        the right to receive dividends and the right to vote in accordance with the
        Company's bye-laws, subject to the restrictions set forth in the Plan and
        the
        applicable Agreement.
  (iii)           Dividends
        and Distributions.  Unless otherwise determined by the
        Compensation Committee in its sole discretion, any Common Shares or other
        securities of the Company received by a Participant as a result of a share
        distribution to holders of Restricted Shares or as a share dividend or bonus
        issue on Restricted Shares shall be subject to the same restrictions as such
        Restricted Shares, and all references to Restricted Shares hereunder shall
        be
        deemed to include such Common Shares or other securities.
  (iv)           Additional
        Terms and Conditions.  The issue of each Restricted Share and
        Bonus Share granted or offered for sale hereunder shall be subject to such
        additional terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as are prescribed
        by the Compensation Committee and set forth in the applicable
        Agreement.
  (c)           Unvested
        Restricted Shares.  Unless otherwise determined by the
        Compensation Committee in its sole discretion, upon termination of a
        Participant's employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries, all Restricted
        Shares granted or sold to such Participant that have not theretofore vested
        (and
        that do not vest by reason of such termination of employment) shall be subject
        to repurchase by the Company for US$0.01 for each such share.
  10.
              Share
                  Appreciation Rights.
  Share
        Appreciation Rights may be granted to Participants either alone ("freestanding")
        or in addition to or in tandem with other Awards granted under the Plan and
        may,
        but need not, relate to a specific Option granted hereunder.  The
        provisions of Share Appreciation Rights need not be the same with respect
        to
        each grant or each recipient.  Any Share Appreciation Right granted in
        tandem with an Option may be granted at the same time such Option is granted
        or
        at any time thereafter before exercise or expiration of such
        Option.  All Share Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan shall be
        granted subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to Nonqualified
        Share Options as set forth in Section 8(a); provided, however, that Share
        Appreciation Rights granted in tandem with a previously granted Option shall
        have the same terms and conditions as such Option.  Subject to the
        provisions of Section 8, the Compensation Committee may impose such other
        conditions or restrictions on any Share Appreciation Right as it shall deem
        appropriate.  Share Appreciation Rights may be settled in Common
        Shares or cash as determined by the Compensation Committee in its sole
        discretion.
  11.
              Share
                  Units.
  The
        Compensation Committee may grant Awards of Share Units under the
        Plan.  With respect to each grant of Share Units, the Compensation
        Committee shall determine in its sole discretion the period or periods,
        including any conditions for determining such period or periods, during which
        any restrictions on vesting shall apply. (the "Unit Restriction Period"),
        provided that any such Unit Restriction Period may be shortened after grant
        of
        the Share Units and the vesting of such Share Units accelerated at any time
        in
        the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee
        also may make any Award of Share Units subject to the satisfaction of other
        conditions, including the attainment of performance goals, or contingencies
        ("Unit Vesting Condition"), in order for a Participant to receive payment
        of
        such Share Unit Award, which shall be established by the Compensation Committee
        at the Date of Grant thereof.  The Compensation Committee may specify
        that the grant, vesting or retention of any or all Share Units shall be a
        measure based on one or more Qualifying Performance Criteria selected by
        the
        Compensation Committee and specified at the Date of Grant thereof.  If
        required by Section 162(m) of the Code, the Compensation Committee shall
        certify
        the extent to which any Qualifying Performance Criteria have been satisfied,
        and
        the amount payable as a result thereof, prior to payment of any Share Units
        that
        are intended to satisfy the requirements for "performance-based compensation"
        under Section 162(m) of the Code.  Awards of Share Units shall be
        payable in Common Shares or cash as determined by the Compensation Committee
        in
        its sole discretion.  The Compensation Committee may permit a
        Participant to elect to defer receipt of payment of all or part of any Award
        of
        Share Units pursuant to rules and regulations adopted by the Compensation
        Committee.  Unless the Compensation Committee provides otherwise at
        the Date of Grant of an Award of Share Units, the provisions of Sections
        9 of
        this Plan relating to the vesting of Restricted Shares shall apply during
        the
        Unit Restriction Period or prior to the satisfaction of any Unit Vesting
        Condition for such Award.
  12.
              Performance
                  Shares.
  The
        Compensation Committee may grant Awards of Performance Shares and designate
        the
        Participants to whom Performance Shares are to be awarded and determine the
        number of Performance Shares, the length of the performance period and the
        other
        terms and conditions of each such Award.  Each Award of Performance
        Shares shall entitle the Participant to a payment in the form of Common Shares
        upon the attainment of performance goals (which may be Qualifying Performance
        Criteria) and other terms and conditions specified by the Compensation
        Committee.  Notwithstanding satisfaction of any performance goals, the
        number of shares issued under an Award of Performance Shares may be adjusted
        on
        the basis of such further considerations as the Compensation Committee shall
        determine, in its sole discretion.  However, the Compensation
        Committee may not, in any event, increase the number of shares earned upon
        satisfaction of any performance goal by any Participant subject to Section
        162(m) of the Code to the extent such Section is applicable.  The
        Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may make a cash payment equal
        to
        the Fair Market Value of the Common Shares otherwise required to be issued
        to a
        Participant pursuant to an Award of Performance Shares.
  13.
              Other
                  Share-Based Awards.
  In
        addition to the Awards described in Sections 8 through 12, and subject to
        the
        terms of the Plan, the Compensation Committee may grant other incentives
        payable
        in cash or in Common Shares under the Plan as it determines to be in the
        best
        interests of the Company and subject to such other terms and conditions as
        it
        deems appropriate.
  14.
              Performance-Based
                  Awards.
  (a)           Performance
        Criteria.  Awards of Options, Restricted Shares, Share Units,
        Performance Shares and other Awards made pursuant to the Plan may be made
        subject to the attainment of performance goals relating to one or more business
        criteria.  For purposes of the Plan, such business criteria shall mean
        any one or more of the following performance criteria, either individually,
        alternatively or in any combination:  (a) cash flow; (b) earnings
        (including gross margin, earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT"), earnings
        before taxes ("EBT"), and net earnings); (c) earnings per share; (d) growth
        in
        earnings or earnings per share; (e) share price; (f) return on equity or
        average
        shareholders' equity; (g) total shareholder return; (h) return on capital;
        (i)
        return on assets or net assets; (j) return on investment; (k) sales, growth
        in
        sales or return on sales; (l) income or net income; (m) operating income
        or net
        operating income; (n) operating profit or net operating profit; (o) operating
        margin; (p) return on operating revenue; (q) economic profit, (r) market
        share;
        (s) overhead or other expense reduction; (t) growth in shareholder value
        relative to various indices, including without limitation the S&P 500 Index
        or the Russell 2000 Index, (u) strategic plan development and implementation,
        and (v) during the "reliance period" (as defined in Treasury Regulation section
        1.162-27(f)(2)), any other performance measure selected by the Compensation
        Committee in its sole discretion (collectively, the "Qualifying Performance
        Criteria").  To the extent required by and consistent with Section
        162(m) of the Code, the Compensation Committee may appropriately adjust any
        evaluation of performance under a Qualifying Performance Criteria to exclude
        any
        of the following events that occur during a performance period:  (aa)
        asset write-downs, (bb) litigation, claims, judgments or settlements, (cc)
        the
        effect of changes in tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or
        provisions affecting reported results, (dd) accruals for reorganization and
        restructuring programs and (ee) any extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring
        items as described in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No.  30
        and/or in management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and
        results of operations appearing in the Company's annual report to shareholders
        for the applicable year.
  (b)           Any
        Performance Criteria may be used to measure the performance of the Company
        as a
        whole or with respect to any business unit, subsidiary or business segment
        of
        the Company, either individually, alternatively or in any combination, and
        may
        be measured either annually or cumulatively over a period of years, on an
        absolute basis or relative to a pre-established target, to previous period
        results or to a designated comparison group, in each case as specified by
        the
        Compensation Committee in the Award.  To the extent required by
        Section 162(m) of the Code, prior to the payment of any compensation under
        an
        Award intended to qualify as "performance-based compensation" under Code
        Section
        162(m) the Compensation Committee shall certify the extent to which any such
        Performance Criteria and any other material terms under such Award have been
        satisfied (other than in cases where such relate solely to the increase in
        the
        value of the Common Shares).  To the extent Section 162(m) of the Code
        is applicable, the Compensation Committee may not in any event increase the
        amount of compensation payable to a Participant subject to Section 162(m)
        of the
        Code upon the satisfaction of any Performance Criteria.
  15.
              Certain
                  Forfeitures.
  In
        the
        event a Participant or former Participant engages in a Competing Business
        or in
        Wrongful Solicitation while in the employ of the Company or a Subsidiary,
        or
        during the period of 12 months immediately following termination of such
        employment, the following rules shall apply:
  (a)           all
        Awards then held by the Participant (whether vested or not) shall be forthwith
        forfeited without payment or other compensation of any kind; provided, however,
        that the Company shall remit to the Participant the lesser of (1) the amount
        (if
        any) he paid for forfeited Award and (2) in the case of Restricted Shares
        or
        Performance Shares "forfeiture" means that the Company may, subject to
        applicable law, repurchase such shares for the Fair Market Value of such
        Restricted Shares or par value for such shares as of the date of
        termination;
  (b)           notwithstanding
        subclause (a), in the event Vested Restricted Shares or vested Performance
        Shares were disposed of (for or without receipt of value) during the period
        commencing one year prior to the initial engagement in a Competing Business
        or
        in Wrongful Solicitation through the 12-month anniversary of his termination
        of
        employment with the Company or a Subsidiary, then, upon written demand by
        the
        Company, the Participant or former Participant, as the case may be, shall
        forthwith remit to the Company the Fair Market Value of such Vested Restricted
        Shares or vested Performance Shares, as determined on the date of disposition,
        less the amount (if any) paid by the Participant for such shares;
        and
  (c)           in
        the event Option Shares, Shares obtained pursuant to the exercise of a Share
        Appreciation Right or other Shares obtained pursuant to Awards under the
        Plan
        (and not described in subparagraph (b)) were disposed of (for or without
        receipt
        of value) during the period commencing one year prior to the initial engagement
        in a Competing Business or in Wrongful Solicitation through the 12-month
        anniversary of his termination of employment with the Company or a Subsidiary,
        then, upon written demand by the Company, the Participant or former Participant,
        as the case may be, shall forthwith remit to the Company the Fair Market
        Value
        of such Shares, as determined on the date of disposition, less the Option
        Price
        or other amount (if any) paid therefor.
  16.
              Effect
                  of Certain Corporate Changes and Changes in
                  Control.
  (a)           Dilution
        and Other Adjustments.  If the Outstanding Common Shares or other
        securities of the Company, or both, for which the Award is then exercisable
        or
        as to which the Award is to be settled shall at any time be changed or exchanged
        by declaration of a share dividend, bonus issue, share split, subdivision,
        consolidation, combination of shares, extraordinary dividend of cash and/or
        assets, recapitalization, or reorganization, the Compensation Committee may,
        and
        if such event occurs after a Change of Control, the Compensation Committee
        shall, appropriately and equitably adjust the number and kind of Common Shares
        or other securities that are subject to the Plan or subject to any Awards
        theretofore granted, and the exercise or settlement prices of such Awards,
        so as
        to maintain the proportionate number of Common Shares or other securities
        without changing the aggregate exercise or settlement price.
  (b)           Change
        in Control.  The Compensation Committee may provide, either at the
        time an Award is granted or thereafter, that a Change in Control that occurs
        after the initial Public Offering of the Company shall have such effect as
        is
        specified by the Compensation Committee, or no effect, as the Compensation
        Committee in its sole discretion may provide.  Without limiting the
        foregoing, the Compensation Committee may provide, either at the Date of
        Grant
        of an Award or thereafter, that if such a Change in Control occurs, then
        effective as of a date selected by the Compensation Committee, the Compensation
        Committee, acting in its sole discretion without the consent or approval
        of any
        Participant, will effect one or more of the following actions or combination
        of
        actions with respect to some or all outstanding Awards (which actions may
        be
        conditional on the occurrence of such Change in Control and which may vary
        among
        individual Participants):  (1) accelerate the time at which Awards
        then outstanding vest and (as applicable) may be exercised in full for a
        limited
        period of time on or before a specified date (which will permit the Participant
        to participate with the Common Shares received upon exercise of an Option,
        a
        Share Appreciation Right or another Award in the event of such Change in
        Control) fixed by the Compensation Committee, after which specified date
        all
        unexercised Awards and all rights of Participants thereunder shall terminate,
        (2) accelerate the time at which Awards then outstanding vest (and, in the
        case
        of Options and Share Appreciation Rights, may be exercised so that such Options
        and Share Appreciation Rights may be exercised in full for their then remaining
        term), (3) require the mandatory surrender to the Company of outstanding
        Awards
        held by such Participant (irrespective of whether such Awards are then vested
        or
        exercisable under the provisions of the Plan) as of a date (or, with respect
        to
        Restricted Shares, repurchase by the Company), before or not later than 60
        days
        after such Change in Control, specified by the Compensation Committee, and
        in
        such event the Compensation Committee shall thereupon cancel such Awards
        and the
        Company shall pay to each Participant an amount of cash equal to the excess
        of
        the Fair Market Value of the aggregate Common Shares subject to such Award
        over
        the aggregate price (if any) of such shares, or (4) take such other actions
        as
        the Compensation Committee deems appropriate in its discretion (whether or
        not
        related to any of the foregoing).
  17.
              Miscellaneous.
  (a)           No
        Rights to Grants or Continued Employment or Engagement.  No
        Participant shall have any claim or right to receive grants of Awards under
        the
        Plan.  Neither the Plan nor any action taken or omitted to be taken
        hereunder shall be deemed to create or confer on any Participant any right
        to be
        retained in the employ or as a director of the Company or any Subsidiary
        or
        other Affiliate thereof, or to interfere with or to limit in any way the
        right
        of the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof to terminate
        the
        employment or other retention of such Participant at any time.
  (b)           Right
        of Company to Assign Rights and Delegate Duties.  The Company
        shall have the right to assign any of its rights and delegate any of its
        duties
        hereunder to any of its Affiliates.  The terms and conditions of any
        Award under the Plan shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit
        of the
        personal representatives, heirs, legatees and permitted successors and assigns
        of the relevant Participant and the Company.
  (c)           Tax
        Withholding.  The Company and its Subsidiaries may require the
        Participant to pay to the Company the amount of any taxes that the Company
        is
        required by applicable federal, state, local or other law to withhold with
        respect to the grant, vesting or exercise of an Award.  The Company
        shall not be required to issue any Common Shares under the Plan until such
        obligations are satisfied in full.  The Compensation Committee may in
        its sole discretion permit or require a Participant to satisfy all or part
        of
        his or her tax withholding obligations by (1) paying cash to the Company,
        (2)
        tendering to the Company for repurchase a number of Common Shares the
        Participant already owns, having a Fair Market Value equal to the tax
        withholding obligations, or (3) entering into such other arrangement as is
        acceptable to the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.  The
        value of any shares tendered for repurchase may not exceed the employer's
        minimum tax withholding obligation and, to the extent such shares were acquired
        by the Participant from the Company as compensation, the shares must have
        been
        held for the minimum period required by applicable accounting rules to avoid
        a
        charge to the Company's earnings for financial reporting purposes. The foregoing
        notwithstanding, any Award of Restricted Shares, Bonus Shares, Share Units,
        Performance Shares and other incentive Awards payable in Common Shares may,
        upon
        each vesting date, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee,
        be
        subject to a net settlement pursuant to which the Company shall withhold
        from
        the vested Award the amount required to satisfy the minimum statutory Federal,
        state and local withholding tax requirement, including the Participant's
        share
        of applicable payroll taxes, and shall reduce the number of Shares delivered
        to
        or retained by the Participant to reflect such withholding. The Company and
        its
        Subsidiaries shall also have the right to deduct from any and all cash payments
        otherwise owed to a Participant any federal, state, local or other taxes
        required to be withheld with respect to the Participant's participation in
        the
        Plan.
  (d)           No
        Restriction on Right of Company to Effect Corporate Changes.  The
        Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its
        shareholders to make or authorize any or all adjustments, recapitalizations,
        reorganizations or other changes in the Company's capital structure or its
        business, or any merger, amalgamation or consolidation of the Company, or
        any
        issue of shares or of options, warrants or rights to purchase shares or of
        bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference shares whose rights are
        superior to or affect the Common Shares or the rights thereof or that are
        convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares, or the dissolution,
        winding-up or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all
        or any
        part of its assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding,
        whether of a similar character or otherwise.
  (e)           1934
        Act.  Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan or any
        Agreement to the contrary, if the consummation of any transaction under the
        Plan
        would result in the possible imposition of liability on a Participant pursuant
        to Section 16(b) of the 1934 Act, the Compensation Committee shall have the
        right, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated, to defer such
        transaction to the extent necessary to avoid such liability.
  (f)           Securities
        Laws.  Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the
        Company shall have no obligation to issue any Common Shares under the Plan
        or
        make any other distribution of benefits under the Plan unless, in the judgment
        of the Compensation Committee, such issuance, delivery or distribution would
        comply with all applicable laws (including, without limitation, the requirements
        of the 1934 Act or the laws of any state or foreign jurisdiction) and the
        applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar
        entity.
  (g)           Severability.  If
        any provision of the Plan or any Award is determined to be invalid, illegal
        or
        unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any Person, or would disqualify
        the
        Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Compensation Committee,
        such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable
        laws, or, if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the
        Compensation Committee's determination, materially altering the intent of
        the
        Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction,
        person or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain
        in full force and effect.
  18.
              Amendment.
  The
        Board
        of Directors or the Compensation Committee may at any time and from time
        to time
        alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part.  No
        termination or amendment of the Plan may, without the consent of the Participant
        to whom any Awards shall previously have been granted, adversely affect the
        rights of such Participant in such Awards; provided, however, that the Board
        of
        Directors or the Compensation Committee may amend the Plan in such manner
        as it
        deems necessary to permit the granting of Awards meeting the requirements
        of the
        Code or other applicable laws.  In addition, no amendment of the Plan
        shall, without the approval of the shareholders of the Company:
  A.           increase
        the maximum number of Common Shares for which Awards may be granted under
        this
        Plan;
  B.           reduce
        the price at which Options may be granted below the price provided for in
        Section 8(a) hereof;
  C.           reduce
        the Option Price of outstanding Options; or
  D.           extend
        the term of this Plan.
  Notwithstanding
        any other provision of the Plan, during the "reliance period" (as defined
        in
        Treasury Regulation section 1.162-27(f)(2)), any purported "material
        modification" of the Plan (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation section
        1.162-27(h)(1)(iii)) shall be of no effect.
  19.
              Termination
                  of the Plan.
  The
        Plan
        shall continue until terminated by the Board of Directors pursuant to Section
        18
        or as otherwise set forth in this Plan, and no further Awards shall be made
        hereunder after the date of such termination.
  20.
              Conditions
                  to Issuance of Shares.
  (a)           The
        Company shall be under no obligation to any Participant to register for offering
        or resale or to qualify for exemption under the 1933 Act, or to register
        or
        qualify under the laws of any state or foreign jurisdiction, any Common Shares,
        security or interest in a security paid or issued under, or created by, the
        Plan, or to continue in effect any such registrations or qualifications if
        made.  The Company may issue certificates for shares with such legends
        and subject to such restrictions on transfer and stop-transfer instructions
        as
        the Compensation Committee deems necessary or desirable for compliance by
        the
        Company with federal, state and foreign securities laws.  The Company
        may also require such other action or agreement by the Participants as may
        from
        time to time be necessary to comply with applicable securities
        laws.
  (b)           To
        the extent the Plan or any instrument evidencing an Award provides for issuance
        of share certificates to reflect the issuance of Common Shares, the issuance
        may
        be effected on a noncertificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by
        applicable law or the applicable rules of any stock exchange.
  21.

                  Waiver.
  The
        waiver by the Company of any of its rights under the Plan with respect to
        any
        Participant, whether express or implied, shall not operate or be construed
        as a
        waiver of any other rights the Company has with respect to such Participant
        or
        of any of its rights with respect to any other Participant.

              Governing
